You're probably right........but the ad LOOKS cheap...............and does nothing for the cars , the brand or the emotion of the whole FPV experience.

Meh. I don't think it should have needed a commentary. The voice was just annoying. Real cars would have been better.

I agree as FPV could have learnt from this add if they really wanted to make a marketing statement stand out.

Gezz, we're a tough lot to please..lol Sure the advert is not perfect and the CGI wasn't going to be everyone's cup of tea, but I think it works. It makes the cars look slick, fast and bold (more so than in reality). It doesn't go into any details with features etc, but it's selling the sizzle, not the steak. The object of the advert is to built brand desire primarily. Anyone seriously considering buying an FG FPV would already have a test drive booked with the real thing.

I think the adverts much better than their last effort.

This is still my favouite FPV ad so far:

I wouldn't call that CGI as "Video game" standard, its a bit below that. Its not that great, they show the cars but don't tell you anything about them.

We like to call it constructive criticism..........

Many of us are passionate about the BLUE OVAL and the whole FPV experience.......hell we forked out big mumbo for their cars and we speak with our wallets not just the keyboard.

FORD / FPV really do have issues with their marketing savvy and their campaigns...........there just isn't any quality in their advertising...........Its almost as if they're scared to advertise any of their products, and the ones they do are very forgettable and ridiculous..........especially those end of month / year runout ads by FRAUD..........you know the one where that androgenous looking trollop is standing on top of a FALCON screaming "it's mine.....go get yourself another one".............or something to that effect............It's no wonder Jo average is buying CAMRIES in droves............
